Welcome to our January 2017 newsletter.<\/p>\n

For our students and renters at the Washington International Flight Academy <\/a>Harry has created a\u00a0Facebook page just to share flights, time build together, etc.\u00a0 It can be found at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IflyWIFA\/. Click here for the page. <\/a><\/p>\n

Several pilots have ask Harry for recommendations on where to go to get their seaplane rating – Jack Brown’s Seaplane Base <\/a>in Winter Haven Florida is the place to go. Click here for Harry’s post from his visit there.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pilots here one for you. This fuel sample was taken from a Cessna 172 today. It was from the wing sumps. Both tanks were almost full. Both sides had this in the fuel. If you look closely you will see a small layer of something at the top of the fuel. It was not greasy and it was separate from the fuel. The more we sumped the tanks the less of this layer we had at the top. I used the same fuel cup for another aircraft and we did not see this layer at the top. I should also mention that we could not get the aircraft started. It would crank however it seemed as if there was no spark.<\/p>\n

A few months ago Pat Kraemer <\/a>and a student (Uma – pictured below)\u00a0hit a goose just 400 foot in the air after take-off.\u00a0 Part of the goose and windscreen came in and hit the student. They had to continue and fly the entire pattern with part of the windscreen missing.\u00a0 Both did a great job.\u00a0 As a Christmas gift and birthday present for the student we had the plaque below made for her.\u00a0 On the plaque is the part of the windscreen that came in and hit her.<\/p>\n

I recently nominated someone for the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. It took about 5 months for the FAA to do the research and verify that the person should receive the award. He finally received the award. Here is Lu Rudel receiving the award.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
